Yes, loading means mounting.  In the past it came up on the desktop as 
an icon,
and the directory opens in nautilus when I put the media in the DVD.  When I
use the menus to go to the location you recommended, there is no Storage 
tab.

I have entries in fstab that define it.  I've also tried mounting it as 
root. 

I've already opened a bugzilla for this, and when I was gathering the 
data to
place in the bugzilla, I noticed there was an anomaly during boot.  The 
drive was
recognized as DVDRW on the second try, and then overwritten with the CDRW
during device setup.  Suggests to me that retry isn't taken into account 
when the
device is assigned. 

Thanks for your response.
